The Detroit rapper, who resides in Oakland County and maintains a recording studio in Ferndale, has added landmark second show for London’s Wembley Stadium on July 12 after tickets sold out quickly for the July 11 concert. Each is expected to draw up to 90,000 fans.

The shows mark Eminem’s first appearance in London since 2001, though he played the U.K.’s Reading & Leeds Festivals last August.

The London dates are two of just 12 shows so far Eminem has planned for the summer. He’ll also be headlining the Lollapalooza festival on Aug. 1 in Chicago and plays six shows in August with Rihanna, including sold-out performances Aug. 22-23 at Detroit’s Comerica Park.
